Viniou Reviews

Château Plince 1986 is a distinguished red wine from the esteemed Pomerol appellation, located in the Libournais sub-region of Bordeaux. This vintage is celebrated for capturing the essence of the area’s unique terroir, although no specific blend is mentioned, Pomerol wines are typically dominated by Merlot, often complemented by smaller quantities of Cabernet Franc or Cabernet Sauvignon. The 1986 vintage in Bordeaux is known for producing wines of exceptional structure and longevity, attributed to a growing season marked by a hot summer and a dry harvest period. The terroir of Pomerol is characterised by its gravel and clay soils, which contribute to the depth and complexity found in its wines. The region benefits from a moderate maritime climate, ensuring that the grapes achieve optimal ripeness and flavour concentration.

The Pomerol region, while relatively small compared to its counterparts in Bordeaux, has garnered a prestigious reputation over the years, even in the absence of a formal classification system. Its history is intertwined with the enigmatic allure of its châteaux, many of which have become synonymous with high-quality wines.

For pairing, Château Plince 1986 would beautifully complement dishes that match its rich and robust character. Consider pairing this wine with a classic French coq au vin or a beef Wellington. Both dishes offer the depth and complexity that align seamlessly with the wine's mature bouquet and velvety tannins. Regional options like duck confit or a cassoulet from the nearby Toulouse area would enhance the wine's earthy undertones.

When it comes to serving Château Plince 1986, be sure to decant it for at least an hour to allow the aromas to fully develop. Serve it at a temperature of 16-18°C to maximise the expression of its complex flavours and aromas. This will allow you to fully appreciate the elegant balance and nuanced profile that this venerable Pomerol offers.
